Las Vegas may be known for its lights year-round but during the Holiday season we like to kick it up another notch. We're decking our halls, trimming our trees and transforming our resort with our annual display of Holiday d?cor. Tis' the season to fill M with holiday cheer from top to bottom and we're able to do so with a little help from Ralph Jones Display Company.

Decorating a resort our size definitely doesn't happen overnight. It takes a team of 12 people over two and a half days to adorn our property for the Holiday season. They use lifts, ladders, lights, garland and more to festoon M for holiday festivities in hues of champagnes, reds and browns.

Think you've got a tall tree? Our holiday display includes two 14-foot trees with oversized custom glass ornaments. From the ceiling of our lobby we have 15-20 foot garland drops, also embellished with oversized glass ornaments.

Hanging above the entrance of our porte-cochere, inside and out are giant wreathes, wrapped in lights, ribbons and ornaments. On the lobby floor you can see a full sleigh on display, filled with presents and complete with reindeer.

We invite you to stop by M to see our holiday decorations in person. They will be on display until January 1. For more holiday happenings at M, join us on December 20, for our Menorah Lighting Ceremony. We'll mark the first night of Hanukkah in our lobby with a giant menorah lighting. Watch the ceremony and enjoy hot chocolate and sugar cookies.

We wish you the happiest of holiday seasons and hope to see you at the M soon!

This morning with the City of Henderson Parks and Recreation, First Choice Tree Service and Federal Heath Sign Company we were able to recycle the nation's tallest Christmas tree!

Working with the City of Henderson Parks and Recreation Department, our 109 ft. white fir was recycled as part of the City of Henderson Parks and Recreation's Christmas Tree Recycling Program. It was the last - and largest - of more than 2,000 Christmas trees recycled through the City's program this season.

It took us four days to remove all the ornaments and lights from the tree and another day to lift the tree out of our piazza and into a space that would work for the chipping. Working with Federal Heath Sign Company and First Choice Tree Service - both who donated services for the project - the tree was cut and its branches put through a chipper and turned into mulch.

According to Doug Guild, CPRP Parks Operations Manager for the City of Henderson, the mulch made from our tree is equivalent to approximately 100 home Christmas trees. The mulch will be used in landscaping throughout the City of Henderson's 50 parks.
